Sudden death in healthy persons engaged in physical exercise is extremely rare since healthy heart is protected from complications. The records of five elderly men who died during or immediately after exercise in the period between in our region have been given, out of 23 men (and one woman) aged who died due to physical exercise in that time. They have been engaged in, jogging and swimming. In all of them coronary heart disease has been found by the forensic autopsy. Only one has had arterial hypertension, symptoms of chest pain few years before accident and acute myocardial infarction has been found. The other four have been without symptoms. In three of them myocardial scars have been found of past myocardial infarctions. In all of them the thickness of the left ventricle wall was 15 mm or more (from 15 to 25 mm). It seems that the thickness of the wall of the left ventricle increases cardiovascular risk in persons without symptoms. In Croatia about 7% of the whole population are engaged in recreation. In this population 13% are elderly: 40,950. The reported five deaths due to recreational physical exercise in the elderly reached 1/114,660 persons every three years, or 1/573,300 persons during fourteen years. Introduction The population is becoming older: in 1981 in Croatia 10.8% of the population were 65 or older, and today it reached more than 13% The age of 65 is usually taken as the border between the middle age and the elderly. However, it is necessary t to take chrological but biological age, because the process of aging Received for publication January 27,
2 begins after 30. According to Morse and Smith 15 the older adult population maybe separated into three groups: a) the young old, between 55 and 75 and with maximal capability of 5 7 METs; b) the old, 75 plus end with a maximal capability of 2 3 METs; and c) the athletic old, who, regardless of their chrological age have maintained a high degree of physical fitness and have a maximal capacity of approximately 9 10 METs (a MET, or metabolic unit, is equivalent to 3.5 ml O 2 /kg/ min, the average oxygen consumption at chair rest). People who have been engaged in physical exercise have a lower risk of cardiovascular complications than inactive persons: it has been evidenced that physical exercise positively affects the keeping and promotion of health. Physical activity should be controlled, regular and adapted to the health state of the organism. If the principles of physical training are observed, possible complications can be avoided That is why a medical check up before exercise is essential, as is medical control over persons taking exercise. In persons with a healthy heart, which is trained and consequently functionally fit, health-related incidents in exercise are very scarce. In this article we are presenting five cases of elderly persons who died during or immediately after physical exercise, in a period of fourteen years. Patients and Methods In the period between 1988 and 2001 we ted in our area 23 sudden deaths of men during or immediately after physical exercise. Five of them were aged years and were engaged in physical exercise. Three were engaged in, one in jogging and one in swimming. One has had chest pain due to coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension and had taken antianginal and antihypertensive drugs, and other four have been without symptoms and without any therapy. Results In all five the forensic autopsy was performed. All of them have had coronary atherosclerosis, one have had chest pain temporary and an acute myocardial infarction as a reason of sudden death. Other four have been without symptoms. Three of them have had scars of past myocardial infarctions. All have had the thickness of the left ventricle mm. The basic characteristics are given in Table 1. Discussion There is doubt about it that a physical exercise in the elderly promotes health and well being. It has to be controlled, regular and adapted to the condition of the organism, to avoid possible complications. The article deals with the aspects of the interrelationship between physical exercise and potential cardiovascular risks in the elderly. Sudden death in apparently healthy persons in exercise is extremely rare. The data of the five deceased persons during exercise have been reported. In only one a medical record has been found: he has had coronary heart disease with chest pain and ECG changes, and arterial hypertension. The other four persons did t have any cardiovascular symptoms previously and they have been without any medical record in recent years before the accident. When cardiovascular accidents occur during exercise, the most frequent cause is an organic heart or vascular disease One should always bear in mind the fact that a great number of persons with coronary disease engage in physical exercise, and only a few have health discomfort. These data are supported by the analysis of the health-related condition of the Croatian population 20 : the so-called healthy 240

Sudden death occurs everywhere, but reports in a literature dealing with cardiovascular complication due to physical exercise in the elderly are exceptional 22,23. The records on the five men who died during recreative exercise show the following: all of them had coronary artery disease with significant steses; all of them obviously died due to malignant ventricular arrhythmias on exertion, and one of them of a ventricular arrhythmia due to acute myocardial infarction. All the five reported deceased had thickened wall of the left ventricle (15 25 mm), which is obviously a risk for cardiovascular complications due to exercise. If the thickness of the wall exceeds 15 mm exercise should t be recommended without cardiological examination, echocardiography and stress test. The relative risk of cardiovascular complications seems to be higher in exertion than at rest 1 18, It is estimated that for example in cross -country skiing the risk is 14.5 times higher than during the rest. The analysis of the results shows that the risk in all exercise is 4.5, in n-strenuous exercise it is 3.3, whereas it is three times higher in strenuous exercise: 9, in all population groups The risk for cardiovascular complications is higher in exertion than at rest. In Croatia about 7% of the whole population are engaged in recreational physical activity 26. In this population 13% are elderly: 40,950 persons. The reported five deaths in the elderly reached 1/114,660 persons in every three years or 5/575,
4 persons in fourteen years. The frequency of fatal cardiovascular complications differs in the literature: 1/7,620 joggers in Rhode Island 27, and 1/18,000 healthy men 28, 12/62,000 men aged in jogging, 63/31,000 men aged years engaged in cross-country skiing in Finland 19. In the literature there is lack of evidence for those parameters in the elderly: 65 years of age or more. In conclusion, when cardiovascular incidents occur during exercise in the elderly, the most frequent cause for sudden death is coronary heart disease. All five men reported in this article died suddenly. It reached 1/114,660 of the whole elderly population every three years or 5/ 573,300 persons in a period of fourteen years. All of those five persons have had coronary heart disease. One of them only had chest pain and other four were without symptoms. In one only an acute myocardial infarction has been found, and the other four have had critical coronary stesis and the reason for lethal event was probably malignant ventricular arrhythmia. The left ventricular hypertrophy was found in all five men, indicating increase of risks for cardiovascular events. A medical check up before exercise is essential especially in the elderly, as is medical control over those persons taking exercise. The criteria for the decision that is to undergo medical examination and a pre-exercise load test are specified as persons over 30 years even without any cardiovascular symptoms.
